Piffle. Ours are natural, and everyone knows we are rich and easy… ”I said, I’m drunk, y’all”

Well, we are sitting on a bar stool wearing an unbuttoned blouse, short skirt and fishnet stockings, so ‘hard to get’ is not the look we’re showing here…

Just human nature. Hypothetically, if you have the Owner and HC providing you with their input to not do that trade, you better be damn sure of your job security and your own assessment of the situation before you decline that input.

That bad? Ouch!

Along with Tepper, Wilks may have had substantial input into the decision not to do the Burns trade. If anything, I think the incentive would have been for a GM to take that trade, since it was so generous. JMO

Geez, enough of the pearl clutching. It's a sport, not life or death on the Serengeti.

Potentially? You mean success is not guaranteed? In case you missed the game, we were exposed at several positions. Too many needs to trade the farm for a player that may or may not be the answer at QB. We are not one player away from the super bowl. Take a shot at Levis or Richardson if you must but we have many more holes to fill without trying to trade up.

When it rains, it pours…

Apparently, the answer WAS on the roster. We just traded him away. SMH

I noticed that, too. Offense got better, defense regressed. And Wilks is a defense guy?

I don’t think anyone on the board has proposed paying him starter money. Cap friendly back up money only.

Starr 2.0, come on down…

Question wasn’t directed to me but, with no other QB’s on the roster that have shown backup or bridge QB potential, don’t you have to resign Sam to a cap friendly 1 or 2 year contract? If team cuts him, we enter training camp with Corral, a draft pick and what FA QB? Who out there is a better ‘budget friendly’ alternative? Carr? Minshew?

Not accusing you, for clarification. Some others on this board though…

I don’t think anyone is arguing Sam is the long term answer. With so many needs exposed, I am in fear of the team making the ill advised San Fran trade, just to get Young or Stroud. We are not a QB away from going deep into the playoffs on a consistent basis. We still need at least one, maybe two more drafts to plug the holes that were glaringly exposed today. Keep Sam, cut Sam, whatever, but for those others arguing to trade up, for the love of all that is holy, NO.

This was a team loss, full stop. If you believe that Sam was the singular cause for our loss, go ahead and pull the trigger, and trade away a boatload of draft picks for the first or second draft pick.

Our offer? Brian Burns, straight up…

[mic drop]

Are we talking about Tom or Gisele?

He may also be facing SEC charges for pimping FTX. It’s a stretch to get a conviction but, that may not stop the SEC from trying. Even if cleared or settled, the time, cost of defense and attendant emotional angst would make anyone look and feel a little gaunt.

I just had an epiphany. Maybe, and I’m just spit ballin’ here, having a real NFL o-line, a strong ground game and a scheme that better fits the player’s strengths and weaknesses can turn a ‘hopeless, lost cause’ into a serviceable, marginally productive game manager QB. That’s wild…

Reich as OC Re-sign Darnold to two year, cap friendly deal; assumes no major regression last two games. Darnold is your bridge QB while rookie draft pick and Corral are developed; two years to allow Corral and draft pick to develop without throwing them to the wolves too soon. If one excels after just one year, sweet. Re-sign Foreman (2 years) and Bozeman (3 years). Levis / Richardson - 1A / 1B Round 2.1 needs to be best TE available that can run routes and catch a football Round 2.2 DE or DT [Starr 2.0, come on down] Round 3 DE or DT; double dipping (yes, our run defense is that deficient) Round 4.1 IL that can be future C (eventual Bozeman replacement) Round 4.2 LB

If the shell fits…

Plus, he’s a Panther alum and a Maryland boy so, I gotta pull for him. ”Fear the Turtle!”

There is no substitute for actual game day experience calling plays. Reich has this. Bring him home.
